| I don't wanna talk | |
| About things we've gone through | |
| Though it's hurting me | |
| Now it's history | |
| I've played all my cards | |
| And that's what you've done too | |
| Nothing more to say | |
| No more ace to play | |
| The winner takes it all | |
| The loser standing small | |
| Beside the victory | |
| That's her destiny | |
| I was in your arms | |
| Thinking I belonged there | |
| I figured it made sense | |
| Building me a fence | |
| Building me a home | |
| Thinking I'd be strong there | |
| But I was a fool | |
| Playing by the rules | |
| The gods may throw a dice | |
| Their minds as cold as ice | |
| And someone way down here | |
| Loses someone dear | |
| The winner takes it all | |
| The loser has to fall | |
| It's simple and it's plain | |
| Why should I complain? | |
| But tell me does she kiss | |
| Like I used to kiss you? | |
| Does it feel the same | |
| When she calls your name? | |
| Somewhere deep inside | |
| You must know I miss you | |
| But what can I say? | |
| Rules must be obeyed | |
| The judges will decide | |
| The likes of me abide | |
| Spectators of the show | |
| Always staying low | |
| The game is on again | |
| A lover or a friend | |
| A big thing or a small | |
| The winner takes it all | |
| I don't wanna talk | |
| 'Cause it makes me feel sad | |
| And I understand | |
| You've come to shake my hand | |
| I apologize | |
| If it makes you feel bad | |
| Seeing me so tense | |
| No self-confidence | |
| But you see | |
| The winner takes it all | |
| The winner takes it all |
